Phraseology

"Approach, do you want us to join the localizer?"

What is the proper phraseology to alert the controller that you are being
vectored through the localizer?
I'm thinking something like:
Approach, N12345 vector through localizer?

Thanks,

Tom

Personally I leave my Sar Chasm on the ground when I talk to
ATC and if you're receiving vectors for the approach, that's
how the above comes across to me.

I don't see it as sarcasm....I've said the same thing hundreds of times.

Right. The controller might have some reason for you to not join at the
moment. That's occurred to me a few times - although I believe that I was
given a head's up on this from the controller each of those times.

Yes, I've been told on several occasions, "Vectors through the final
approach course for faster traffic behing you", and then been vectored
back around to join the localizer from the other side.
